Question

In a certain code, COMPUTER is coded as ETUPMOCR. How is INACTIVE written in the same code?

• A. VITCANIE
• B. VICTNAII
• C. VICTANIF
• D. VITCANIG

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To decode the word "COMPUTER" as "ETUPMOCR" in the given code, we must observe the transformation pattern. The letters of the word are reversed, which leads us to write COMPUTER as RETUPMOC first and then rearrange it by taking alternate letters from the end to the start. Let's break down the solution:

1. Reversal of COMPUTER gives RETUPMOC.
2. Having ETUPMOCR implies picking the last letter and placing it first, and this pattern continues with alternate rearrangement.

Applying the same rule to INACTIVE:

1. Reverse the word INACTIVE to get EVITCANI.
2. Rearrange EVITCANI by following the same pattern: Take the last letter and arrange alternates, resulting in VITCANIE.

Therefore, according to the given code rules, the encoded word for INACTIVE is VITCANIE.
